This pictures were taken in my bedroom. I LOVE to transform vintage furniture. Of the pieces you see here, the red/orange dresser (my dad had a Dodge Dart in that colour when I was little) was the only piece that I worked on. I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to fix that little defect in the spot where the four drawers meet. Any suggestions ? Still not sure about those knobs. I chose those just because I needed them to match the gold in the legs. The old paint removal and sanding were a nightmare...but it was worth it. Right ?

The green chairs (I got two more...good finds are always in odd numbers) and the two night tables (opps ! There's a pair !!!!!!! I forgot !!!!!!!! hahahahaha) are exactly like I found them.

I'll soon post about my living room and dining areas with pictures included.

In the next post I'll tell you about my exhibition, my life lately, my sketches (which I've decided to post more often) and inspiration. Now, I'm posting a picture of a beautiful paint chip and paper collage I got a couple of days ago. Makes me hungry... it's from Ilda Oliver... remember the creative photographer from the "Paint Chips" ?

Well, she did it again. I'm loving this ice-cream, seems alive...love how she mixed other senses (like LOVE...) with TASTE in the same piece. The eye makes total sense.

Hello everyone ! I hope you liked the pcfp pics for today. You know what? I think we had enough fun with this pcfp thing. I need a change. (I had dreams of a paint chip Michael Jackson's face...insane) I'm not saying I'm not creating anything else with them or that you can't send me any submissions, but let's relax a bit. It doesn't have to be a weekly or forced thing. (I still love to work with them and love those hues anyways).

I haven't got time lately to create much. My mom-in-law is still around so my weekends are crazy. Going out, out, out, all the time. I can easily live in a cave as long as I have my laptop, my coffee, a comfortable couch and painting tools. Oh! and huge windows. Doesn't make any sense right ? A cave with windows. That's gonna be my next piece. "Cave With Windows", or "Window Cave", or "Cave with a view" or...I need to ask my friend (whenever he feels like) and English teacher Eric from Amidst Mod to give me a hand. But it's interesting, that's my dream space. A comfy cave (full of MCM refurbished furniture) with a view where I can't be bothered and can paint the whole day long.

About Me

I never grew up at all. A playful, incurably hopeful spirit of a child still lives me and sets himself free through my art. Still amused by everything around, my spirit filters my everyday, present and past experiences through an almost spiritual process where all the elements arrange themselves into abstract compositions. These compositions express and show feelings and sensations as I perceive them, not in the way a photographic camera does. Colours, shapes, textures, sound, movement, and the language behind them...They all turn into layers of paper and vinyl that cover and uncover at the same time through little "windows" that reveal a background, allowing the viewer to penetrate and travel through them, in and out, and to inquire about what's hidden behind them. All this process allows me to rediscover myself everytime I create, on and on, in a constant evolution and search for myself.
Welcome home and please be patient with my grammar...English is my second language! You can write to me in Spanish as well. See you around !
